Tri-C launches training program for available manufacturing jobs

Cuyahoga Community College, Swagelok Co. and the Manufacturing Advocacy & Growth Network, or MAGNET, have announced an alliance on a fast-track training program to prepare students for high-quality — and available — manufacturing jobs.
The Right Skills Now initiative launched at Tri-C provides eight- or 14-week training sessions with the opportunity to earn an eight-week paid internship at Swagelok, a global developer and provider of reliable fluid system solutions based in Solon. Students who successfully complete the program and internship will be offered a full-time position at Swagelok.
Swagelok has an immediate need for machine operators to fill openings at its plants in Solon, Highland Heights and Strongsville. The company also anticipates an additional 50 to 60 hires a year in the immediate future to support growth and to replace retirees.
“The training and development of a high-skilled manufacturing workforce is a priority at Swagelok,” said Sally Turner, the company’s vice president of human resources. “We know that this area offers a pool of motivated, hard-working individuals, and we’re excited to collaborate with Tri-C to take an innovative approach to training in our region.”
